* 2/3 c. limoncello
* 2 lemon slices, about 1/4-in. thick with seeds removed
What to do:
1. Rinse chicken and place in a gallon-size resealable bag. Add limoncello, lemon juice, salt, pepper flakes and shallots. Seal bag and turn several times to mix ingredients; refrigerate overnight.
2. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade. Wrap prosciutto around chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks. Grill over medium heat for about 15 min., turning several times, until chicken is cooked through and prosciutto is crispy.
3. While chicken is cooking, stir raisins, limoncello and lemon slices together in a small saucepan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 min. or until most of the limoncello is absorbed by the raisins. Press the lemon slices with the back of a spoon several times to release juices. Spoon over chicken and sprinkle with rosemary to serve.
